New data released on
Tuesday supports Moderna's
own findings about the efficacy of the vaccine.
The Moderna trial was conducted

As with the Pfizer vaccine, an
advisory panel will meet on Thursday
to offer an assessment on whether
the vaccine should be approved.
Sources say that the FDA will likely
approve the vaccine on Friday.
Nearly six million doses could
potentially be ready for distribution
once it is approved.
On Monday, the U.S. surpassed 300,000 total deaths
due to COVD-19, more than any other country by far
